6. I Don't Think Vince Really *Gets* The Network Yet...
At 70 years old and barely active on social media, I think the idea of streaming technology to Vince McMahon is a crazy necessary evil that Steph tells him is the only way to combat piracy and eventually turn a profit in the digital age. Past that, I see that he knows what the price point is, and that occasionally, enormous TV stars and former in-ring legends make special appearances. The idea of a septuagenarian being a CEO of a digital media giant isn't crazy. However, when that 70 year old is Vince McMahon, I could be convinced to be scared as hell. Vince running a WWE where he's barely familiar with the company's economic and social hub of the future is frightening and shouldn't be the case.
